Sicko? Options

[medic]

Has anyone watched it yet? I watched it a few weeks ago, and have to say that Michael Moore has possibly made me question the Health Care industry sadly. Although I hate Michael Moore with a passion, this movie is worth a seeing. If you have seen, what do you think, and what are your changed and or unchanged views on the health care system?

And with their system, you have more security and a smaller rich-poor divide. And why exactly are there less specialists? Have statistics for that?

Smaller rich poor divide my ass. Handouts do not make people less poor, it only makes them dependent. Security my ass.

There are fewer specialists because there is less incentive to go study the extra years to become one. "Japan, for example, spends only about half as much of its GDP on health care as the United States. But the comparatively low salaries doctors receive have caused a serious shortage of cancer specialists in a country where cancer rates are rising and the disease is the leading cause of death"[1]

Really, I would love to see your backup on this.

Btw,for those who want to see it.

See above, and good job helping to pirate a video. Cuba's system is a piece of shit. Why do you think Castro sent for a Spanish doctor? If Cuba's system is so great, why wouldn't he trust his own country's doctors? Moore even mentions the US rank in worldwide healthcare, but he curiously omits Cuba's rank, which is LOWER than the United States'.

And lol @ taking medical advice from an obese man. That's like getting relationship advice from Doctor Phil.

i doubt michael moore is giving advice on how to be healthy. sicko is about the healthcare system and it evident flaws. basically, it details how underinsured and uninsured Americans get screwed.

example, a man died because the insurance company refused to pay for his bone marrow transplant. they called it 'experimental'.

i might watch it but i think michael moore loves controversy too much. that doesn't really help his causes.

Fat people like him are the ones driving up healthcare costs.

And? People were put on 3 year waiting periods for treatment in Canada.

Oh, they're already doing it. Last week FOX had a report on it, and they did nothing but blast it... calling it "Liberal Propaganda", and saying that all of the facts like the number of people uninsured and other statistics were false. Hahah. That's Fo' news for ya.

Because Fox News are the only ones calling BS on the movie.

Hahaha, that's ignorant kids for ya.
